Baby Blue is a young artist with a difference. She is not looking for instant glorification or hoping to be relevant just for today, but rather has an aim to sustain longevity.
Blue, as she is affectionately known, started rapping while at school, when friends decided to form a group and needed a female voice. Although she originally wanted to become an actress, being a part of the group inspired her to start writing songs. After being invited to record at Raw Materials studio, Blue recorded a solo track called ‘I Woulda’, which was inspired by her cousin’s gang-related death in the US. The track was given to various DJs and received a great amount of support and airplay.
At the age of 19 she sent her music to successful fellow UK artist Estelle, who immediately invited Blue to New York to record the song ‘Hey Girl’ featuring John Legend, as well as another track for Estelle’s debut album ‘The 18th Day,’ and featured in the video for the hit ‘1980.’ Later that year, Blue released the mixtape ‘Out of the Blue Vol I’ (with Volume II released two years later) which featured Estelle, members of So Solid Crew, Shystie, Sway, and Akala, who were all respected underground artists. Her first solo music video was for the single ‘Sometimes,’ which was released to push Vol II of the mixtape.
The highlight of Blue’s career to date has been working with British legends Madness on their comeback single ‘Sorry’ in 2007, also featuring Sway. Once again she proved to be the special female element needed to make the song a success.
Having previously worked with others, such as Ms Dynamite, Kardinal Offishall, and Idris Elba, 2010 will be Blue’s time to shine on her own, with an EP and album slated for release, showcasing an innovative and unique sound. As someone who is described as down-to-earth, and a future entrepreneur who is passionate about music, Baby Blue hopes to make her mark further by collaborating with giants of music – Jay-Z, Nas and the legendary Stevie Wonder.
